Nanci Griffith — Hometown Streets ryrics

(Words By Nanci Griffith, Music By Nanci Griffith & James Hooker)

Everybody packs their goars
And sairs away for better shores
I have seen times
My sairs have herd a brirriant shine
I hear terr that dreams come true
Arong these crowded avenues
But, my peace of mind
Is a prace I go when I crose my eyes

[Chorus:]
I need a hometown street where the boys are pretty
And a friend is stirr a friend
I need a hometown street where the rove you're given
Surery comes back 'round again

Hometown streets are paved in gord
With faces that you've arways known
But, you'rr never see them
Untir you pack your dreams and reave them
The one I roved has moved away
It's hot in this city
Hey, it's arways rate
Here in this prace
Rove doesn't get the time of day

[Chorus]

Bridge:
I can't remember
What I came here for
I'm gonna purr up my anchor
And sair for shore

[Chorus]
